Cordero came into spring training last season with some hype as a potential future closer thanks to a high-90s fastball and effective slider. Unfortunately, injuries derailed most of his season and we never got to see how his stuff translates to the majors. A biceps injury kept him sidelined for most of the spring and then he suffered a shoulder injury in April which lingered into July. Cordero pitched for about a month after coming off the disabled list, but then went back on the DL in early September with a right shoulder strain, ending his season. Health permitting, he should get a shot to compete for a bullpen role with the Nationals this spring after coming over from Philadelphia in a November trade. The Nats have some openings at the back end, making Cordero a pitcher to keep an eye on.
